WMUCarGuy should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
[QUOTE=TRspitfirefan;3506744]Great news!
Are there any GT3 manufacturers left who are not racing in PWC this year?

The only car I see from the most recent round of homologations is the Maserati GranTurismo MC GT3 (although I'm not sure much of anyone is running them).

We have possible entries from Reiter with their Lambos and mutant Camaros.

Other possible options (which I'm sure we won't see) are the Morgan Aero Super Sport, Lotus Exige, Venturi, etc.

As far as the modern cars that are being run around the world, PWC has just about everyone that's relevant and some that are nowhere else (Caddy, Acura).

It's great to see that Nissan is actually stepping up their GT efforts worldwide. I half expected these programs to be cut with the focus required of a prototype project.

It's amazing how close this series was to collapse just a few years ago. The magic of GT3.

Looks like PWC has a TV package for this year without the weeks long delay and one live event (Belle Isle) on CBS Sportsnet.

CBS Sports Network and Torque TV will broadcast over 60 hours of Pirelli World Challenge action with dedicated 120- or 90-minute programs for GT/GTA, the GT Cup presented by MOMO and GTS classes - the GT classes and GTS class will have dedicated segments within the broadcast shows. TC classes will have 60-minute programs. Broadcasts will be shown one-week tape delayed in prime time slots either on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesday evenings.

Live streams should be good to go this year. They have replays available there too. In the past, the only way I could find replays is through an avenue where I would find out the results along the way. That's rather annoying and i'll have to fix that, maybe by viewing live....

CBS S the extra extra extra package from my cable provider and I don't think I have Torque available. And I am actually looking to dump cable soon.

New livery for Alex Welch's GMG Audi, it appears.

that is one of the great parts about this series - you can get some really unique and good looking liveries.

Another livery post, looks like Christina Nielsen's #7 PWC Aston will be in the gorgeous blue color that TRG showed off at Daytona.

Seems to be still in that exact livery, though they did put a PWC number plate on it. I assume some stuff might change, but I do hope that base doesn't get masked over. It's lovely.

Great news. Nicky Catsburg is a good choice but I don't know if he's raced in the states before so these tracks will be new to him. Would be fantastic to have Tomas Enge back but somehow I doubt it if Reiter are already fielding one pro driver.

I think that this thirst for power, is what has driven pretty much all of NASCARs involvement in sports car racing over the years.
From someone @ NASCAR -

Bentley stole privileged information and took it to PWC which is what ignited the legalities.

PWC has made the same allegations upon Carter's hiring.

This is not a NASCAR power trip.

Torque was actually supposed to go the subscriber route after the first of the year IIRC, but for whatever reason it hasn't.

Whichever, PWC has said they'll still have http://www.world-challengetv.com/ .

Nicky has been sim racing for a while and drives on iRacing, which has all of the PWC tracks bar St. Pete and Detroit so I'm sure he'll be fine

Didn't know he was a sim racer, that'll help him for sure.
